Is National Harbor Worth My Time?
I have recently had the opportunity to go to National Harbor for the first time. National Harbor is located in Maryland, city of Fort Washington. I was very happy to finally see and experience a bit of National Harbor and here's why:
The first reason I am glad to get over to National Harbor is that it is quite a different view from over there on the Maryland side of the Potomac River. The view at night is beautiful, while driving by on the Virginia side of the water, but during the day, it was just as beautiful to see all of the yachts, restaurants on the waterfront and people just walking around enjoying a beautifully sunny day.
Another reason why I liked going over to the Maryland side was the existence of the Capital Wheel. I will very soon experience this, but just seeing it from very close up was a sight to behold. The Capital Wheel is a Ferris Wheel that takes you 180 feet
above the Potomac River waterfront, providing amazing views (I can't wait for these). Some attractions which you will be able to see are the White House, the National Mall, Arlington Cemetery and the parklands throughout the Maryland, DC and Virginia area.
A third reason to get over to National Harbor is the restaurants. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Redstone American Grill on our visit and I loved my salad, with all of its many pleasant flavors complimenting each other and got totally stuffed on the amazing corn bread - yum! I will definitely go back to Redstone American Grill, probably after my ride on the Capital Wheel. The question is, will you?
“Using a real estate agent is a very good idea,” says the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "All the details involved in home buying [
and selling], particularly the financial ones, can be mind-boggling. A good professional can guide you through the entire process and make the experience much easier."
Selecting the right professional is the key to a successful real estate transaction. Better than working with a simple real estate agent, you’ll want the services of a Realtor®.
What’s the Difference Between a Real Estate Agent and a Realtor?
More than two million people have earned real estate licenses but only a small percentage of these are Realtors. Realtors are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, their state association of Realtors and a local real estate board. Realtors are held to high standards of ethical behavior and must undergo continuing education annually to remain accredited.
All agents of Nesbitt Realty are Realtors!

Our agents have immediate access to homes as soon as they are put on the market, saving you hours of wasted drive-around time. When you’re ready to make an offer on a house, our Realtor will help structure the deal to save you money. He or she will explain the advantages and disadvantages of different types of mortgages and guide you through the mounds of paperwork.
When it comes to selling your home, a Realtor will save you time and aggravation. Their commission will vary depending on your location. Realtors pay for all advertising, schedule all open houses and make sure potential buyers are qualified. The money they can save you is often more than the cost of their commissions.
